Leaving Buffalo Gap National Grasslands & Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Today will be our last day here at Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, just outside Badlands National Park.  We have spent the last 10 days at a terrific spot, far off the road.  We have had NOBODY come by our area in those 10 days.  That's the isolation we love.  We camped in four different spots in these Grasslands and hiked in every direction from our campsites.  We will have been in these Grasslands three weeks when we leave tomorrow. 

We hiked over 100 miles here.  Different beauty and different kind of hiking than we have done before.

Tomorrow we head toward the National Grasslands in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma.  We are out of propane, food, and space for trash.  We also need water.

And winter is coming--time to head south.
